I have not seen a hockey game yet in HD...just Steelers games. And sure it's nice...but I've always been cheap. I just didn't see the big deal. I don't care about sweat drops and every single blade of grass lol. I'm satisfied just being able to see the games.

Hell...I probably wouldn't even have cable if it wasn't for hockey.

You can get an HDTV for less than $450 if you know where to look. There's a misconception that you have to spend thousands of dollars on an HDTV - you don't. Sure, you can if you absolutely have to have an uber-huge screen with 1080p HD, but for someone like me, who lives in an apartment, a 32" screen works just fine. There's no way I'd have been able to afford one if I still had to pay $1500 or $2000 for it.
